Fantastic experience
Sebastian has a genuine love of Amsterdam and for telling stories about his amazing city. Our walk - which exceeded the time we expected - flew by with stories about The Netherlands history, water and land usage, contemporary life, and useful recommendations for our time here. He took us to places we'd never go (or find) as well as listened to us about the things we wanted to try - as such, for instance, we had both Suriname cuisine and fresh herring. Highly recommend Sebastian, which was more like taking a walk with a very knowledgeable friend through Amsterdam than merely hiring a guide

Incredible. Relaxing. Informative.
Willem was wonderful. He customized the tour to our love for history. We had fun walking around and seeing all the paradoxes of the region. He shared some fun rumors and stories about the city but then also shared how those got started and if they were true! He told stories about his life in Amsterdam and I loved hearing his local insights. We had a great time and would highly recommend! We moved without being rushed. He gave us a great lunch recommendation as well.

Delightful guide
We really enjoyed our two day Amsterdam tour with Kawika. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful and sensitive to our wants and needs. He managed to reconfigure our tour due to airline delays and still made our stay in Amsterdam most enjoyable and interesting. His artistic insight and general artistic knowledge are exceptional and really added to the artistic aspect, and he listened carefully to us and curated a bespoke tour suited exactly to what we wanted and could manage. In addition to all that, he is a very nice person who is passionte about Amsterdam and his work. We highly recommend him, he is delightful. Mike and Abigail (65 year old couple)

Helena took us everywhere interesting!
Helena spent 5 hours with us walking all around central Amsterdam and customized the visit to places of interest to us, based on a previous communication. We took lunch mid-journey at a lovely garden. Thanks, Helena!
